Even on my most optimistic days I find the prospect doubtful. I hope and dream but I figure we will die as a species from fallout.

we better hurry up, we're running out of stuff to do to each other here

Not to the stars, but to some planets and moons in our solar system.

I agree. What would be the point. By the time we're capable of interstellar travel, it would make far more sense to send AI/Robotic type explorers. Hell, it won't be long until people no longer fly planes or drive cars. Of course, this assumes people are still here anyway, and haven't morphed into borgs.

We will have to leave this solar system, eventually. The sun won't last forever.

But not to worry, we have time. So much so we won't likely be around anymore - LOL

If given enough time without killing ourselves. I see no reason why we won't colonize the solar system.

Interstellar travel pivots mainly on fusion energy. It's still possible without, just much more difficult.

I hope well survive long enough to create a Dyson sphere.
